AFTER THIS, I'M ALMOST OPTIMISTIC ABOUT NOVEMBER:
Simmering Rage Within the GOP (David S. Broder, 27 July 2006, The Washington Post)
My weekend visitor was one of the founders of the postwar Republican Party in the South, one of those stubborn men who challenged the Democratic rule in his one-party state. He was conservative enough that in the great struggle for the 1952 nomination, his sympathies were with Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio, not Dwight D. Eisenhower.
He has lived long enough to see Republicans elected as senator and governor of his state and to see a Republican from the Sun Belt behemoth of Texas capture the White House. His profession won't let him speak with his name attached, but he is sadly disillusioned...Whew, that's the next best thing to Dionne calling it for the Dems. Posted by Pepys at July 31, 2006 6:16 PM

No need to out-run the bear, just the competition.

Democrats still have nothing to offer the voters. All they have left is hope that Republicans can lose votes.
